Free marijuana giveaway

Donation0 Comments

To get around Oregon’s marijuana law’s timing — from July 1st possession for recreational use will be legal, but it cannot be sold until fall of 2016 — the state’s marijuana growers will give away as much as 7 grams plus cannabis seeds to over 21s with ID, at an event on June 30. NORML:

While it becomes legal to possess and cultivate cannabis, there is no legal place in Oregon to buy marijuana itself or cannabis seeds and starts. Portland NORML will educate the public and our partners will give away thousands of seeds and hundreds of pounds of marijuana this year so Washington State and the black market do not benefit from our new marijuana legality.

Event organizers:

This is more than free weed. This is more than vendors, food and vapes. This is history in the making!

The University of Denver announces it has received a $45,000 commitment from a Denver law firm to enable one faculty member to serve as the Vicente Sederberg Professor of Marijuana Law and Policy. This law professor will devote his time and resources toward the development of marijuana law and policy. Vicente, who is funding this position for three years with an option to renew, attended DU’s law school on a full merit scholarship and was encouraged by his professors to pursue drug policy reform.

I want to give back to the university who supported me
